Advice to survive the closing of your Friendly Local Game Store
Communicate with one another. Social media can become your best friend.
Look outside the box for gaming locations. Try someone’s home, bowling alley, library, yacht club, or VFW/American Legion/Church hall.
Seek new players & new games. You don’t know what you will find nor where this will lead.
Modify your gaming style. If you’re playing less than before, use your time to paint, to assemble, to research, or attempt other aspects of the hobby.
Rearrange how you spend your wargaming money. Plan fewer trips to game stores further away. Buy online. Trade/swap with other gamers. Save more money to use for previously under-utilized areas of the hobby.

I’m stunned and terribly saddened to hear of the passing of longtime listener Andrew. He helped to give the show the name Wargaming Recon. Andrew was a kind soul who selflessly gave of himself to help those around him. Despite being legally blind he taught children how to wargame.
Wargaming Recon has lost a good friend in his passing. I ask all listeners to join me in a moment of silence in Andrew’s honor.

Listener David commented about episode 131 Ancient History Magazine Kickstarted saying “Both the quality of the magazine and the nice array of ‘pledge perks’ will help AHM break through the crowd and receive the founding it deserves.

Jamie Searle from Norway left a 5 star review on iTunes titled A Great Wargames Podcast saying “I’m really enjoying this show. I’ve listened to about 50 episodes now and found all of them to have real value. The range of topics is refreshing and the quality of production and guests really makes it a good listen. Wargaming Recon is mostly focused on historical miniature wargames, but enough different games and tangental topics are covered that it’s always interesting.”
RobertD left a 4 star review on Stitcher Radio titled Historical Wargaming saying “Every episode has some great content related to wargaming in New England. It could be talking about a Convention with one of the directors, holiday buying ideas, or even just doing a mailbag episode.”

Listener Ancient Thoughts commented about episode 132 on Youtube saying “Josho’s completely right with what he’s saying with how Ancient History magazines going to be different and understands the whole purpose of studying history is to recreate the past. The artwork is a huge factor aswell as the info and how its delivered because it gives an historically accurate picture and brings the ancient world to life. This new magazine would be extremely popular, same with their podcasts if more people just new about it.”
Listener IDidSawABear commented about episode 132 on Youtube saying “If you give me a way to buy this in Canada, I will buy the crap out of each edition!”
Listener David commented about episode 132 on our Facebook page saying “All around an enjoyable and informative discussion — of particular interest is this proposed new book of art work from Ancient Warfare Magazine. Given the quality of the illustrations that have graced the pages of AW from the very start, this new book should sell very well indeed.”

Listener Adam asked in response to episode 130 “Good podcast Jon. Steven it’s always interesting to me to hear the organizers side. How firm are you about not wanting a Flames of War tournament? It seemed like there was lots of space available for miniature war gaming on Sunday through that might be due to the weather.”
Guest Steven Parenteau replied “What I should have said is we don’t have the space to run more than one tournament event at a time. Normally everyone wants a Saturday event leaving the tables empty Friday and Sunday. As I had said in our interview I always take submitted events before I fill it in with our staff events.
So in short a Sunday Flames of War event is totally feasible. It may have looked empty this year because normally we have to shunt the RPGA area into the minis hall because of the Sunday brunch that normally goes on. This year the hotel management cancelled the brunch so we didn’t have to move the RPGA group into the minis area for space.”

Due to illness and scheduling conflicts Aaron Bostian couldn’t do the show. So, NO NEW EPISODE right now. To make up for it we’re sharing this episode from the vault. The classic episode comes to you from the dark ages where the show had a different name. Since this is a CLASSIC episode some of the links, content, giveaways, contests etc may be out of date or ended.
Don’t worry! Next time we’ll be back with a NEW episode of Wargaming Recon.
Host Jonathan J. Reinhart releases a short show discussing some collectible miniatures (War at Sea and World of Warcraft). The highlight of the show is coverage for TotalCon 2008. This marks the first time Jonathan discussed TotalCon on the show.

Hope you enjoy the first of two “Best of” 2014 episodes. This one focuses on the board game 1775: Rebellion. Originally released on June 9, 2014 the episode discussed the game, how to play, and why you should want to play it.
This ReCast sheds further light on why I LOVE 1775 and why you should too. In fact I will be playing this today to celebrate my 33rd birthday! If you’re listening to this on Dec 22nd, I hope you’ll send positive birthday thoughts my way.
Don’t worry! We’ll be back with NEW episodes of Wargaming Recon in 2015.

Some games are so good that they grip you from the very beginning. 1775: Rebellion by Academy Games is one such game. If you can’t get it near you why not pick up a copy from our Amazon affiliate link: Buy 1775: Rebellion by Academy Games.

Children’s Hospital has done so much for my little cousin Gracie in her battle against CF. She is routinely admitted to the hospital to get her lungs cleaned out. It isn’t a pleasant experience for anyone nevermind a young kid. But Children’s has always gone above and beyond to turn this scary disease into something less frightening for my cousin.
My heart broke when I found out how many kids don’t get treatment because their families cannot afford to pay. Thankfully Extra Life helps those kids in need.

On October 25, 2014 Jonathan is participating in the Extra Life 24 hour game-a-thon to raise money for Boston Children’s Hospital. This fundraiser provides the money so that no child is turned away regardless of their family’s financial situation.
Children’s Hospital has done so much for my little cousin Gracie in her battle against CF. She is routinely admitted to the hospital to get her lungs cleaned out. It isn’t a pleasant experience for anyone nevermind a young kid. But Children’s has always gone above and beyond to turn this scary disease into something less frightening for my cousin.
My heart broke when I found out how many kids don’t get treatment because their families cannot afford to pay. Thankfully Extra Life helps those kids in need.
I’m just $30 away from my goal!

Listener Rhys wrote on The Wargames Website “Just listened to [Henry Hyde’s episode] whilst painting-great stuff keep up the good work. I have to admit that it was the first time I had listened to your podcast after seeing it, but will definitely be listening to the rest whilst painting.”
On Twitter:
Listener Lars tweeted “Just found your podcast, excellent stuff!”
Via our Facebook page:
Listener Jay wrote “Jonathan, I was listening to WR 113 in which you ask ‘Are painted miniatures essential to miniatures wargaming.’ A little behind the times, I know, but bear with me. I’m of a few minds on the topic. For one, it’s your hobby, do with it how you feel. In the privacy of one’s home, what one does with other consenting adults with their toy soldiers is their own business. I’ve played plenty of games with wholly unpainted forces. Doesn’t bother me one bit. That being said, if you’re participating in an organized public event, you should at least have basic painting done. On some figures, this is easier than others. For example, the 15mm WWII Soviets I’m currently painting will have no fewer than seven colors on them just to get to ‘fully base coated’ stage. That’s not counting any shading or highlighting that may take place. Or basing effects. But! I feel better having a fully painted force on the table. It’s a better representation of the multi-disciplinary nature of the hobby. As I said, it’s a multi-disciplinary hobby. The facets one chooses to pursue are up to the individual. Of course, the irony of listening to the episode while painting said WWII Soviets is not lost on me! Please continue the podcast. Good luck to your wife with the rest of her pregnancy. Henry’s latest episode is what drew me to pull the trigger and add your show to my Downcast queue! I guess I was implying what I should have expressed, hell no, they’re not essential! At least not as essential as miniatures are in general. Which could lead to another topic altogether. What happens when you take a boardgame such as Command & COlors: Ancients and use miniatures in place of blocks or chits on a mat or fully realized terrain board?”
Listener Adam said “Not really a fan of Victrix they are too brittle (lots of broken muskets on my 28mm boys)”
We’ve crafted a few theme weeks on our Facebook page. Did 2 weeks of 54mm photos and 1 week of Napoleonics. Check them out.

BONUS: Whenever you see the name Mike Paine as a GM at a game day or a convention you NEED to sign up to play in Mike’s games. He is a superstar GM and he’s fantastic with kids. He always says that his games are for kids and adults who will play nicely with kids. Whenever I see his name at a con I immediately sign up for his stuff. Plus he’s an all around nice guy.

Henry Hyde Wargaming Author
Henry Hyde comes back on the show for his third appearance. Henry talks about his book the Wargaming Compendium, wargaming, and what he’s been up to.
In a special segment after the show Henry and Jonathan discuss Jonathan’s Ancient Rome inspired imagi-nation campaign the War of Latinian Expansion. Jonathan is blending computer gaming with traditional tabletop gaming.
He used the Plastic Soldier Review website to choose his 1/72 scale HaT Industrie models and 1/72 scale Caesar Miniatures. The HaT models cost under $10 USD for almost 50 infantry from the Hobby Bunker in Malden, Mass (or their online storefront). Caesar Miniatures’ boxes are only slightly higher at $11.95 for 40+ infantry also from the Hobby Bunker.
During the show Jonathan mentions the controversial Episode 113: Are Painted Minis Essential to Miniatures Wargaming? and Henry surprises Jonathan with his thoughts on the topic.
Before the show concludes Jonathan makes a VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. His wife and he are expecting their first child! The baby is due the beginning of February 2015. Jonathan looks forward to having a little one to introduce to the hobby.

Jonathan’s (Not a Lawyer) 5 Guidelines for Backing a Kickstarter
Have a clear idea of your EXPECTATION. Determine if it matches what the project creator is doing.
COMMUNICATE with the project creator BEFORE backing. This is the best way to ask questions.
Only pledge when you KNOW the project creator, their work, or a respectable person you trust vouches for the creator and the project.
Closely EXAMINE the Kickstarter project. Does it seem too good to be true? Is it unreasonable? Or impossible?
Pledge no more money than you can afford to LOSE if things go sour.

The classic episode comes to you from the dark ages where the show had a different name. Since this is a CLASSIC episode some of the links, content, giveaways, contests etc may be out of date or ended.
Don’t worry! Next time we’ll be back with a NEW episode of Wargaming Recon.
Host Jonathan J. Reinhart releases a short show. The episode begins, unusually, with Dispatches from HQ.
The bulk of this episode is devoted to the Battle of Abington. This was a custom scenario created by Adrian Benson for Cort, Jonathan, and he to play with Warlord Games’ Black Powder rules. The trio met at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington to play using the models they have finished painting.
Jonathan fielded one American militia regiment and one Continental artillery battery. Adrian teamed up with Cort. Cort brought two British infantry regiments and Adrian used one small Hessian musketeer regiment. The battle is discussed, mis-steps announced, and rules mentioned. You can read battle reports at Black Powder AWI demo game (from the Hessian point of view) and The Battle of Abington (American point of view). Further discussion of the game can be found on this blog or by joining the Black Powder Wargamers of New England Yahoogroup.
The show concludes with a mention that The Whiz, Rte 9 East in Westborough, is moving! They will move 2 miles closer to 495. See The Whiz is Moving for full details. They will be at their new location as of September 1st. Until then they are offering 15-50% off everything in store. Jonathan used this opportunity to stock up on TONS of Dystopian Wars stuff including the rulebook, game cards, Prussian Empire battle box, Prussian Empire bombers, and the Prussian Pflicht Scoutship blister.

Inspired by Sam Mustafa’s column in Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy issue 71 (Buy the PDF) Jonathan editorializes on the the necessity, or lack thereof, of painted miniatures. As a current non-painter Jonathan approaches the question of “What exactly is our hobby?”
Karwansaray Publishers sought responses from wargamers about Sam’s column. They hit up The Miniatures Page and the Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy Facebook page.
In Jonathan’s editorial he discussed his 1/72 scale (20mm) Imperial Roman project for Hail Caesar. Photos of the project can be found on the Wargaming Recon Facebook page.
Mailbag
We shared an interesting cat photo on our Facebook page. Visitors were asked to caption it. Many funny and unique captions were submitted.
Listener Andrew asked a question about the history of American Wargaming. Jonathan suggests listeners try episodes Russ Lockwood Game Designer & Editor and More Secrets of Wargame Design for a glimpse into American wargaming’s past.

#19: New England Gaming Vegas with Jonathan Reinhart
Listener Andrew’s question on our Facebook page:
I dabbled in GAMES WORKSHOP as a teenager, but was turned-off the hobby by all the cheating and arguments. Then university friends got me addicted to FULL THRUST, a spaceship wargame. Since then I moved into DBA, and heavily into FLAMES OF WAR. I’ve dabbled in a lot of rules and periods, but I prefer rules that are fast yet realistic.
How did you get into wargaming?

Do you have a success story to share? If so, don’t be shy. We’d love to hear about your experiences introducing this hobby to the special person in your life.

Can gaming help those in need? The answer is a resounding YES! Each year the Extra Life organization puts on a game-a-thon where gamers, like you and me, play games for 24 hours to raise money for their local children’s hospital. All of the proceeds from the event go directly to the designated hospital.
The funds are used to provide medical care for kids whose families otherwise could not afford the help.
Listen to this episode to learn more about this great cause, discover some cool new games, and maybe you will be empowered to participate next year!

male

upper middle-class
politically conservative or politically disinterested / apolitical
“geeky” or “nerdy”
unshowered, smelly, or exhibiting poor personal hygiene
Fulbright scholar Ian Cross researched this issue as part of his capstone project to receive his Masters in Public Policy. Recurring guest Aaron Bostian joins the conversation. Together the three of us discuss Ian’s survey of wargamers. He reveals his results. They just may surprise you.

“Today is Thursday August 17, 2006. This is the first podcast of the CWF Game Discussions blog….now we’re gonna cue our intro music.”
More than six years and tens of thousands of hours later the CWF Game Discussions blog podcast morphed into Wargaming Recon.

Thank you to Christopher Tarwater for redesigning the blog, Jeremy Kostiew for creating the 100th episode logo (and the show’s logo that appears everywhere), every person who submitted a tip, to every listener, to every guest, and everyone that has been supportive over the years. A huge thank you to our sponsor 12-7-Games.com.

Think you know what chess is? Peter “Blix” Bryant has a Kickstarter that adds the bacon flavor to chess. He discusses Rogue Chess and explains some of the cards.
If you like chess, if you LOVE having fun, and if you’re a game fanatic then you NEED to back the Rogue Chess Kickstarter project.
Peter explains the various backer levels and stretch goals. He also talks about his other projects: Cube of Death (geek trivia meets D&D), TriTac Games podcast, ConMen podcast (coverage of fandom and gaming conventions), and all things Studio187 (his entertainment company).

Interviewing Jonathan.
Ever wonder what makes Jonathan tick? Listener Aaron Bostian turns the tables, takes the mic, and serves as host for this special episode.
Jonathan is in the hot seat while Aaron interviews him about his life and gaming. We hope you enjoy this peak behind the curtain.
Aaron’s Questions:
How did you specifically develop an interest in historical wargaming, especially with those 10mm tall figures?
Do you remember a particular moment when you saw a miniatures tabletop wargame for the first time? Do you remember your first impressions?
Why are you particularly interested in the American War for Independence, or, as those of us living in the States like to call it, the American Revolution?
You’ve talked about not being a very good figure painter. What are the reasons you don’t like to paint figures? Have you tried any of the quick painting methods?
How to you divide your hobby time into percentages? I know most divide their hobby time into painting and playing, but you spend a lot of time thinking and talking about historical wargaming, particularly with your podcasting efforts. How much spent painting figures, how much time spent playing historical wargames, and how much time spent thinking/writing/talking about historical wargames? You put a good deal of effort into promoting your podcast—how much time in a given week do you spend on these efforts?
You spend a good deal of your free time involved with wargaming. But what are some of the non-wargaming activities you enjoy?
The bunnies have been in the background of some WR episodes. Why do you keep bunnies as pets and what do you like about them?

Save the Higgins Armory Museum.
Imagine a place where you get first hand experience with military history. A place more incredible than anything you could imagine. That place is the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts and it is closing for good on December 31, 2013..
We share the news about the closing and why the museum needs to be saved. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette has an interesting article on the closing. The article covers the reasons behind the closure.
A Save the Higgins Facebook page is raising awareness of the closure in the hope of keeping the incredible museum open.
Adam of the Fencing Frog Blog wrote us a wonderful message, which we read in the episode, as to why the Higgins should stay open. Visit the Higgins Armory Museum website to plan your visit before the museum permanently closes.
We also discuss:

TotalCon 27.
Fix yourself a snack, sit in a comfy chair, and ready yourself to listen to a mammoth Wargaming Recon episode.
Total Confusion 27 is discussed at length. Jonathan recorded audio live at the con from his hotel room. That audio forms the first hour of this episode. The second hour covers Friday night through Sunday mid-morning of the con. The second half of the show was recorded after the con in the Wargaming Recon studio.
So much happened at the con that it is difficult to recount it all in the show notes. Instead, we hope you will enjoy the episode and read the below thanks.
We’d like to thank:
Angelia Parenteau, TotalCon’s Promotional Director, along with Steven Parenteau and the rest of the TotalCon staff for making this year’s event a HUGE success.
Industry guest Ben Gerber, and his wife, for a game-filled fun Friday evening with Wayne Moulton, Jr. of the Sages of the RPG. We played some great games, like Tugboat, and talked shop. Ben is the host of Indie Talks and co-host of Growing Geeks with Tristan Tarwater. Both shows can be found on the Troll in the Corner Podcast Network.
Industry guest Peter “Blix” Bryant, from Studio187 and the Tri Tac Games Podcast, for running an incredible Cube of Death (listen to Geeks Explicitly #13 Cube of Death for a review). This was Jonathan’s first time playing and it was a blast. Many thanks to Blix’s sponsors who provided the $5 Game Crafter gift certificated and Puerto Rico computer game that was given to Cube of Death players.
Industry guest Jay Libby who is the co-owner of Dilly Green Bean Games. He is sending us a review copy of his superhero RPG titled G-Core. Jay is a fun guy who hosts an awesome cocktail hour. Next year Jonathan aims to snag an invite to the epic fun.
Vendors Brenden Hill and Jeremy Brown of Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine. They were a joy to hang out with Friday evening. Lots of great conversation and a love of Downton Abbey. Buy lots of games from them when you’re near Portland, Maine.
Listener Patrick for making TotalCon 27 my best con memory. Had so much fun playing Zombie Dice, chilling at the GM Social, and chatting until the wee hours of the morning. It was truly a blast!
Chad Ellis, owner of Your Move Games in Somerville Mass, for taking the time to explain his game Battleground. He showed us how it works, discussed the benefits of the game, and gave us some great review product. Afterwards he gave listeners Adrian and Cort a demo. We know Battleground will become a new regular game for us to play. Ask your local stores to stock it!
Vendor Foam Brain Games for stocking Gloom, We Didn’t Playtest This at All, and Win Lose or Banana. They gave a very enjoyable demo of Win, Lose or Banana. A silly and fun game only costing $1. You can’t beat that!
New listener Chris V. aka Boston Greek Geek for being a huge fan of the game Ninja by Ben Gerber. It was a lot of fun talking to Chris about the game and discovering that he lives not far from us and knows a few of our friends.
Vendor The Dragon’s Lair for their dedication to protecting the security of their customers. It is rare to find a business, let alone con vendor, to be so concerned for their customer’s welfare. It was greatly appreciated.
Listeners Adrian and Cort. You carried a heavy burden for Battle of Freeman’s Farm. You both created beautifully painted models and terrain that shone on the table. The event would not have been a success without you.
Blix’s friends Mike and Brian who, along with Blix, welcomed me to their breakfast table on the Sunday at the con. We discussed podcasting and they shared many useful tips. Not to mention they are funny guys! You need to listen to their podcast the Con Men Podcast, which discusses conventions across America.

On December 28th my wife and I closed on our first house. We got the keys that day and have been spending every spare moment painting the inside. We move near the end of January.
Besides being exciting for both of us as our first house it is exciting for a few other reasons. Half of the basement is finished and will become my personal gaming batcave. There is enough room for me to put a 4×6 table to game on, space for a TV, to hang out and more. The unfinished half has a great workshop where I can continue my wet on wet (Bob Ross style) oil painting. Plus, there’s a gigantic antique workbench where I can assemble and paint miniatures.
The other reason that the house is exciting holds allure for my podcasts. The house has three bedrooms. The smallest is becoming my office and podcast studio. No longer will I have to reschedule recordings for when our bunnies are quiet or to avoid the noise of my wife’s delicious baking. I will now be able to record in a setting with better acoustics where I can close the door to drown exterior noise.
If you are seeking a podcast fix this week, don’t worry. I’m not leaving you high and dry.
First, have you caught up with the previous Wargaming Recon episodes? You may want to listen to Episode 84: Wargaming on the Cheap. There’s a ton of great tips in that episode that will save you money.
The other possibility is to listen to the other shows on the Troll in the Corner Podcast Network. My show Geeks Explicitly might be of interest. Or, you could listen to either Indie Talks by Ben Gerber or Monsters of the Shattered World by Brent Newhall.

Tabletop Conquest.

24 Hour Game-a-thon for Boston Children’s Hospital
24 hours straight, all board games, RPGs and video games, non-stop because I want to help heal kids. **Donate Securely Here**
I’m on a mission to save kids through table top games, and I need your help.
Boston Children’s Hospital treats thousands of children each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.
I have a cousin, Gracie, who was born with Cystic Fibrosis. This year I will be walking in one of the CF Foundation walks to raise money for a cure and treatment. Until then, Boston Children’s Hospital has helped Gracie and many children like her who are afflicted with CF.
With your help we can raise money that will allow Boston Children’s Hospital to treat kids no matter what kind of help they need.
On Oct. 20th, 2012, I’ll join Ben Gerber in an attempt to play an epic 24 hour table top game marathon.
It’s my sincere hope that you’ll find it in your heart to support me with a monthly pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to my hospital. We’ll be playing games, recording podcasts, hanging out on Google+ and doing everything we can to stay awake.
Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids.
Last year, Extra Life raised more than 1.2 million dollars to save kids, but in 2012 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher. All you have to do is go to my Extra Life page and make a donation. Donate a buck, donate more. Every single dollar helps. I’m looking to raise at least $100 – but I’d love to blow that amount away!
Whatever you can do, pledge money, spread this around far and wide or start a pledge page of your own, I, my family and all the kids who need us to go above and beyond appreciate it beyond words.
Question of the Episode
How would you enhance Tabletop Conquest? What are your thoughts?

Is a great source of inspiration and information for my Dedhampton Revolution historical what-if campaign. Each nation has a different bonus and choice of different leaders with their own bonuses. You win by gaining independence from your homeland.
There are four issues to consider when playing
The colony’s relationship/dependence on the mother country
The importance of trade
The relationship with the natives
The plight for freedom
Wargaming Recon: New Logo
Jeremy Kostiew from MightyNightGaunt is working on a new logo for the show. He created the fantastic logos for the other shows on the Troll in the Corner Podcast Network. His work is still in the draft stage. But, you can see the logo on Facebook and Google Plus. The various incarnations are below for your viewing pleasure.
Mailbag: Responses to WR79: 5 Reasons You SHOULD Shop at Your Friendly Local Game Store
Adam, from the Fencing Frog Blog, wrote in with reasons to shop at the friendly local game store
Local game store pays for shipping
Buy where you play especially if you pay for free. Treat the local store like your local bar.
Shopping locally keeps the money you spend in the community where you live and work.
Remember the Steve Jackson quote, “Remember, gang: Support your local retailer or he’ll close his doors.”
Read my article Pay Where You Play? for thoughts on a compromise approach blending local game stores and internet vendors.
Wargaming Recon Announcements
We are now a publisher on Wargame Vault. Check out our Wargame Vault Store. You can “buy” podcast episodes for FREE while you do your other shopping. In the future we’ll have PDFs on that storefront too.
We are also a Wargame Vault Affiliate (affiliate link). When using our affiliate link, we receive a little compensation. This does not cost you anything.
Question of the Episode
Where is the best place to get 10mm buildings/terrain suitable for the American Revolution? Do you think 15mm buildings are ok? Does it depend on the manufacturer such as JR Miniatures or Old Glory? What are your thoughts?

Where is the best place to get 10mm buildings/terrain suitable for the American Revolution? Do you think 15mm buildings are ok? Does it depend on the manufacturer such as JR Miniatures or Old Glory? What are your thoughts?

Tabletop Conquest
Read Brent Newhall’s posting about Tabletop Conquest on his blog, Dr. Worldcrafter. Don’t forget to download Tabletop Conquest’s rules.
20 Questions – Wargamer Edition
Favorite Wargaming period and why? 18th century, in particular the American Revolution. From a young age the American Revolution has held my interest. Living in New England helps since there is so much history focused on the Revolutionary War. The town I grew up in has the oldest wooden-framed house in American and less than an hour’s drive in any direction results in more history. Boston, the USS Constitution, Lexington, Concord, location where Suffolk Resolves was signed, and homes/birthplaces of multiple forefathers.
Next period, money no object? Imperial Rome. I can’t wait to get my hands on Hail Caesar and lots of beautiful Roman legionary models. Of course, with money being no object, I’d purchase the most fantastic models and then pay to have them properly assembled and beautifully painted. That would leave me free to enjoy playing games instead of merely prepping for them.
Favorite 5 films? In no particular order…Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Seven Samurai, The Godfather: Part II, Clerks., and Spirited Away.
Favorite 5 TV series? Gilmore Girls, Firefly, The West Wing, GLEE!, and Keeping Up Appearances.
Favorite book and author? Shogun by James Clavell. I love his Asian Saga. I’m also a HUGE fan of anything written by Bernard Cornwell. He’s a local boy…transplanted from England to Chatham.
Greatest General? Can’t count yourself!! Tough one. So many good generals and even more bad ones. But, I’d say that the fictional general Toranaga based on the historical Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Favorite Wargames rules? I’m loving Black Powder by the folks at Warlord.
Favorite Sport and team? Ice hockey has my heart and I’m a Boston Bruins fan through and through. I also enjoy football…not American football. The real football.
If you had a once use only time machine, when and where would you go? I’d go back to the night my godfather had his car accident, which left him a vegetable and ultimately resulted in his parents pulling the plug on life support. I’d convince him to not get in the car. I’ve no memories of him but, if successful, I’d get to grow up with him in my life. For a historical answer, I’d like to stop King Henry VIII from splitting England off from the Roman Catholic church.
Last meal on Death Row? A triple helping of Lobster Mac & Cheese from the Main Diner AND homemade meatballs made by my Nana.
Fantasy relationship and why? Ronald Reagan. I’d love to be buddies with him. Pick his brain. Get the inside scoop on the Cold War. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”-Reagan
If your life were a movie, who would play you? It would have to be Michael Cera because he always plays the socially awkward teenager.
Favorite Comic Superhero? Spawn. That is if you can call a hellspawn a superhero. Otherwise, I also like Iron-man and Captain America.
Favorite Military quote? “Veni, Vidi, Vici”-Julius Caesar is a good one. OR, “I would rather he have given me another division”-Field Marshal Rommel on Adolf Hitler promoting him to Field Marshal.
Historical destination to visit? Gettysburg, never been and always wanted to go.
Biggest Wargaming regret? Never spending[...]Announcements, Books, Historical, Gaming, Miniatures, Games, New, England, Game, Stores, People, PodcastsJonathan J. ReinhartnonoWargaming Recon is a WargameVault Publisherhttp://wargamingforums.com/2012/08/24/wargaming-recon-is-a-wargamevault-publisher/

Reinhart unleashes this episode with an apology for his noisy rabbits. The show includes a review of the next installment of the Jack Steel novels, a review of Hexographer the map-making program, an introduction to the Dedhampton Revolution, a chat about running a 1 Day Campaign, and a reminder about our Podcast Promo Contest.
Jonathan discusses several history oriented books and reviews the next installment of the Jack Steel series. The series is set in the Wars of Spanish Succession and revolves around the forces under the command of Lord Malborough (Prime Minister Churchill’s ancestor).
The show progresses with a review of the Hexographer map-making program by Inkwell Ideas.
Most of the episode is dedicated to Jonathan’s imagi-nation campaign, the Dedhampton Revolution. Tons of credit goes to Henry Hyde for his articles on the War of the Faltenian Succession, which can be found in the earliest issues of Battlegames Magazine. Stokes Schwartz’s article “My Imagination Ain’t What It Used To Be!” was also a great inspiration.
Jonathan chats about running a one day campaign. Inspiration came from Wargames Illustrated issue 292 – February 2012. Jonathan will run Supplies for Seaward March as a one day campaign for his gaming buddies.

This is the LAST episode before Jonathan’s move. New episodes will officially commence on September 1st, but might appear sooner if possible. After the move the show will have one other change. It will now be a bi-weekly hour long show.
No Badger No Gnome, Drew McCarthy’s revitalized gaming podcast, will hit this RSS feed after the move. Jonathan will be a co-host along with Slandy Cherflis.
The bulk of this episode is devoted to the Battle of Abington. This was a custom scenario created by Adrian Benson for Cort, Jonathan, and he to play with Warlord Games’ Black Powder rules. The trio met at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington to play using the models they have finished painting.
Jonathan fielded one American militia regiment and one Continental artillery battery. Adrian teamed up with Cort. Cort brought two British infantry regiments and Adrian used one small Hessian musketeer regiment. The battle is discussed, mis-steps announced, and rules mentioned. You can read battle reports at Black Powder AWI demo game (from the Hessian point of view) and The Battle of Abington (American point of view). Further discussion of the game can be found on this blog or by joining the Black Powder Wargamers of New England Yahoogroup.

Drew mentions dropping from a weekly RPG he was participating in. Jonathan announces dropping from the the monthly Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition he played with Drew McCarthy and his friends. Additionally, he discussed the many painting projects he is completing.
The duo talk about the informal Saturday gaming social Jonathan set up at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Plainville. At it Drew learned how to play War at Sea using the 2010 Starter. Cort N. stopped by the event, showed his 25mm Old Glory AWI Redcoats and numerous 15mm Napoleonics and 6mm GHQ WWII models. Plus, he showed off the Napoleon’s Triumph board game. Thoughts are bantered as to why the event was sparsely attended. Jonathan mentions wanting to do another one of these and promises to better research what other events will be taking place at the same time. A Magic: The Gathering release took up most of the space in the store. Drew highlights an upcoming Warhammer 40k Singles Tournament held by BG.
Jonathan then mentions the monthly Painting Social at BG Plainville along with similar events held by Adler Hobby in Hollis, New Hampshire and The Whiz on Rte 9 East in Westborough. A short discussion ensues covering the hobby side of gaming, i.e. assembly and painting. The co-hosts both declare their dislike for assembling models and Jonathan shares that he nows enjoys painting. He lists his pile of painting projects for Black Powder and what he hopes to work on at the Painting Social. Thankfully most historical figures require no assembly. Dystopian Wars is also mentioned and weighed in regards to assembling and painting the models.
The two discuss painting and painting setups. Jonathan mentions his Ott craft light and using cork to affix models that he is painting. Drew discusses how different lights alter how models look whether one uses sunlight/Ott lights, fluorescent, etc.
The show moves on to reviewing Bailey Records and their gaming soundtracks. Bryan K. “Stratos” Borgman generously donated the albums: Autumnal Slumber, Warlands The Soundtrack, and Cybernet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack.
Drew disliked the heavy Jazz influence that permeates throughout the Cybernet album. At first listen the Warlands album was something that Drew would like but then it turned into more techno, which Autumnal Slumber also did. Drew felt they were good albums but not his favored genre. Technically speaking he felt they were beautifully crafted and he enjoyed the Eastern feel in some of the titles.
Jonathan counters saying how much he enjoyed the albums. Both agree that the albums would be perfect for the right setting and right type of game as a means to set the mood for gamers. Autumnal Slumber is cited as Jonathan’s favorite and it was the one Drew “disliked the least.” In Jonathan’s opinion Warlands was his least favorite. It has a purposefully disjointed feel to reflect the post-apocalyptic setting it depicts. Many apologies for the loud drinking noises from Jonathan’s bunnies during this review.
Both agree that they want to listen to more music by Stratos. To quote Drew, “I want to listen to everything he has.” Concluding the music discussion Drew gives the albums 3 out of 5 stars and Jonathan gives them 4 out of 5 stars citing the low purchase cost as increasing the value. There will be an album to accompany Bryan’s forthcoming miniatures game titled Kaiju Kaos.

He updates the happenings in the monthly Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition he plays with Drew McCarthy and his friends. Jonathan updates listeners on the status of his Flames of War army. Dispatches from headquarters are shared announcing a big move for Jonathan and his wife. The move, with details TBA, will minimally disrupt the podcast. On the plus side, Jonathan should have a small but dedicated space for assembling and painting miniatures. The monthly painting social held at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Plainville is recounted. It is a great way to get some painting done, hang out with some painters, and maybe learn a thing or two. Jonathan describes the fantastic dinosaur model that Michael Salzman created for use with Warhammer Fantasy. This event was a good chance to work on models for Black Powder.
Local events are highlighted for listeners. Gaming events run by Adler Hobby in Hollis, New Hampshire along with those by Battleground Games & Hobbies (Abington and Plainville locations), and The Whiz on Rte 9 East in Westborough are detailed. Events range from Flames of War, Warmachine/Hordes Rotterhorn League, Magic: The Gathering CCG, Please check with the individual venues/event sponsors for more details.
A bulk of the show is devoted to the Mailbag. Listener feedback, mostly focusing on Episode 59, is shared. Jonathan reads some of the feedback covering opinions on digital format magazines including some from Jasper Oorthuys, big boss of WS&S Magazine, and Henry Hyde, editor of Battlegames Magazine. Andrew Malcolm and Mike Blake have their feedback included in the show. Gordon informed us that he will be playing this show in Adler Hobby, so if you hang out at Adler Hobby you will be able to listen to this show while you game.
The Hobby Bunker in Malden will run a game day in August (check out the pdf flyer). It will feature The Battle of Olustee using the Black Powder rules and will be run by the Boston Trained Bands club. Mike Paine, also from Huzzah Con 2011, will run a pulp zombie game too.
The newest issue of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy (issue #55) is briefly discussed based on Jonathan’s first glance at a few of the pages in the magazine. He highlights two areas he would like improved, one turns out to be a problem with using the iPad to read the magazine digitally, and mentions the positive reviews for issue 54. Check out our review of that issue in CWF Game Cast Episode 59: Wargaming Magazine Extravaganza.
Continuing with the magazine discussion, Battlegames Magazine issue #26 is reviewed. Check out all of our Battlegames related content. The exact score is 78% or 31/40 even though Jonathan says “7 out of 10 stars” in the show.

Reinhart and guest Henry Hyde, editor of Battlegames Magazine, discuss a myriad of topics. Jonathan gets Henry to reveal some of his background, musical talent, and an explanation on why Battlegames Magazine stands out. The short answer is, “words.” This gargantuan episode clocks in at over 2 hours and 24 minutes making it one of the longest episodes for our show. You definitely will enjoy it.
Henry devotes a chunk of his appearance to the Society for Creative Anachronism, the Landsknecht, and the Pennsic Wars (check out this Youtube video of Pennsic Wars #1). Jonathan chimes in with Live Action Roleplaying and the Tales of Valor. Henry sets the stage for the rest of the show when he reveals his condensed curruclum vitae. Who knew Henry gave up a lucrative career in insurance to become the editor and owner of Battlegames?
Jonathan inquires why listeners to buy and read Battlegames Magazine instead of the plethora of other gaming magazines. Henry responds with “words.” Jonathan prompts him to extrapolate on that resulting in the history of Henry’s magazine and philosophy of magazines. The pair move the chat onto transitioning into historical gaming using Jonathan as an example. Key topics area highlighted that every gamer must address when becoming a historical wargamer. Size, manufacturer, price, storage, and pre-game prep (painting/assembly) all must be considered. This opens the door for a discussion of paint brushes. Do you go with expensive brushes or something cheap and replaceable?
Henry then discusses his fitness undertaking as part of the Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal. A very important focus is placed on the Combat Stress charity, what they do, and how you can help. If you’re able, please make a donation using the Combat Stress JustGiving page.
The table turns as Henry fires off a few questions at Jonathan who explains how he got into gaming and how he got into historical gaming. He says why he gave up playing Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy. Jonathan moves the topic onto Henry’s upcoming book, The Wargaming Compendium, available for pre-order on Amazon UK with a price of 16.25 GBP.
The discussion ends with Henry telling listeners how to find the magazine, contact him, read his blog, follow him on Twitter, and visit his Facebook page.
The show winds down with the the Music to Game By segment with Bailey Records’ “Dogs of War” from Stratos’ album Cybernet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack and the new Battlegames Magazine promo.

Host Tom Barbalet and guest Neil Shuck, of the Meeples & Miniatures podcast, analyze Osprey Publishing‘s Force on Force rules. The duo provide an in depth review of that ruleset. Neil recommends Flying Lead‘s Hearts & Minds expansion by Ganesha Games and Charlie Don’t Surf by Too Fat Lardies as alternative modern age rulesets depicting insurgency warfare.
Tom and Neil briefly address the question “What is fun?” and the dynamic of wargamer vs. gamer. As part of this discussion Neil admits to having a secret dislike of Battlefront Miniature‘s Flames of War ruleset because, based on his experiences, it promotes powergaming and cheesy lists.
After bantering on the topic, Tom moves the discussion onto Salute 2011. Neil reveals his “survival rules” for Salute, which can be applied to any gaming con. The discussion flows into covering Beasts of War and Battlefront’s acquisition of Wargames Illustrated magazine. Neil uses that to explain the importance of independent gaming coverage.
The show winds down with the the Music to Game By segment with Bailey Records’ “Dogs of War” from Stratos’ album Cybernet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack and the new Battlegames Magazine promo.

Reinhart and Tom Barbalet discuss Jonathan’s trip to Huzzah Con 2011. Jonathan provides a brief overview of Huzzah and some sights to see in Portland, Maine. Almost the entire show is devoted to a discussion of Huzzah Con 2011. Jonathan describes the first game he played, Raiders of Sulu Sea by Mike Paine, which used homegrown rules. Tom inquires about pictures, on our Huzzah Con 2011 Photo Spread posting, of sheep. Jonathan says that the sheep are from the Viking Dawn game, which used Peter Pig rules and lasted the entire con.
The second game Jonathan played was the Battle of Olustee. This game recreated the historical Battle of Olustee, from the American Civil War, using 28mm Perry Miniatures and Warlord Games’ Black Powder rules. Boston Trained Bands Wargames Club, operating out of Hobby Bunker in Malden, ran this game. Jonathan describes the game, tactics, winning conditions, and his thoughts on an appropriate size for a good game using the Black Powder rules. During the course of discussing this game Jonathan highlights Barb & Ernie Baker of Architects of War and JR Miniatures for buildings and Steven Mynes of Age of Glory who sold him the Architects of War buildings for the AWI games he will be playing.
The conversation moves on to the final game Jonathan played. Remember the Alamo was run by Billy DiGiulio using the Warhammer Historicals Legends of the Old West – The Alamo Victory of Death rules. Jonathan explains the game, compares it to previous incarnations, and highlights who historically won the battle.
Tom and Jonathan spend some time chatting about the vendors at the con. Jonathan highlights Gordon of Adler Hobby for their fantastic customer service and vast supply of Flames of War products. Adler Hobby also ran two events at Huzzah. Jonathan reiterates Hobby Bunker as the source of his JR Miniatures building (see Black Powder Terrain Part 1 for pictures of the painted product).
Huzzah Con discussion finishes with Jonathan mentioning a great giveaway. The first 5 listeners who e-mail him, cwfgamecast@wargamingforums.com, will get a free Huzzah Con t-shirt courtesy of Dean Emmerson and the MHWA Maine Wargamers Association. Sizes will predominantly be limited and dependant on what Dean sends Jonathan. Henry Hyde of Battlegames Magazine receives a shout out because he sponsored prizes, which were a big draw, for the Huzzah Con raffle.
Tom gives an update on the Field of Chaos giveaway, e-mail tom@nobleape.com for a free copy. He also mentions content for upcoming shows. Jonathan gives one last shout out to Scratch Bakery Co, Duck Fat restaurant, and the Portland Head Light. Tom alludes to some recent feedback saying that our style may not be for everyone but there is a podcast to suit everyone’s tastes. A handful of other shows are mentioned and props are given to Martin Kearney for notifying us about rumors concerning Games Workshop and Australian stockists.
After the main conversation draws to a close there is a special surprise, recorded by Tom, for Henry Hyde from all of us at CWF Game Cast.
The show winds down with the the Music to Game By segment with Bailey Records’ “Android Beat Poetry” from Stratos’ album Cybernet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack and the new Battlegames Magazine promo and.

He also recounts the previous trip to Rockport, which leads Tom into a discussion of casting your own models.
Jonathan dedicates part of the show to the annual Battleground Games & Hobbies 40k Megabattle. Jonathan chats about planning for attending Huzzah Con 2011 in Portland, Maine run by the MHWA. Tom briefly foreshadows his joint review with Neil Shuck of the Force on Force rules by Osprey Publishing.

The two adopt a View from the Veranda format. They discuss a myriad of topics. Tom gets answers to all the subjects we’ve been dying to learn about. Neil tells all about his gaming history, how Meeples & Miniatures was born on Jan 2007, how Henry Hyde of Battlegames Magazine and Neil formed their incredible friendship, why the View from the Veranda started, who some of the notable M&M listeners are, and why Neil whispers on his show.
Both Tom and Neil reminisce about the early days of miniatures gaming. Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, Warhammer Fantasy, the original Space Hulk, and Blood Bowl all receive mentions. Neil lists early gaming podcasts that influenced him such as Solo Wargaming, All About Miniatures, The Dice Tower, Boardgames to Go, and of course It’s Time for Games by Richard Denning who also wrote article(s), which appeared in the old Wargames Illustrated (before Battlefront acquired the magazine).
A little bit of time is spent discussing Warmachine, the early days of the CWF Game Cast (episode 1 debuted 8/17/2006), Neil’s accent, and listener feedback. Neil mentions how listener feedback helps to encourage him to continue podcasting.
The conversation ends and the Music to Game By segment is back with Bailey Records’ “Darkrider Returneth” from Stratos’ album Cybernet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack.

Co-hosts Jonathan J. Reinhart and Tom Barbalet record together for the first time since Jonathan was sick with the zombie flu (actually, a severe respiratory virus that grossly exacerbated his asthma).
As usual the week in wargaming is discussed. Most of it is focused on Black Powder, which the dynamic duo swiftly transition into. A lively debate is had concerning the minimum, or starting, army size for this rule set. Tom reiterates suggestions he previously gave to Jonathan. Jonathan explains how he is attempting Black Powder. He mentions stellar advice from Henry Hyde.
The two move on to the related issue of Osprey Publishing’s New Vanguard, Campaign, and Men-at-Arms series. Tom and Jonathan, briefly, delve into the history of Massachusetts, while discussing Jonathan’s schooling.
Jonathan mentions his wife and her latest painting project, a Thaniras Elves War Dragon for the Uncharted Seas game. Jonathan jokes that it looks more like a drake but perhaps he is splitting hairs. The painting discussion includes Tom mentioning painting greats Kevin Dallimore, and his fantastic Foundry Miniatures Painting & Modelling Guide, personal friend Golden Demon Winner and former ‘Eavy Metal painter Tammy Haye, and Golden Demon winner Kirill Kanaev.
Tom flexes his mathematical muscles reviewing two dice rolling apps for the iPhone. Simple Dice by Nora Krauss and dynamicDICE are both reviewed. Tom alludes to creating his own dice app. Jonathan interjects with his preference for Dicenomicon.
Jonathan discusses his appearance on Episode 1 of The Gate Stormers (be warned of explicit content) in that show). A whirlwind of topics spin about. Tom reminds listeners to participate in the Field of Chaos Political Compass Contest. An update is given on the Monty & the Fox’s Wargaming Show branding. The editing schedule is briefly mentioned before Tom does a killer Neil Shuck impersonation!
The conversation ends and paves the way for the debut appearance, on this show, of official gaming music from Bailey Records. “Enter Darkrider [Extended Remix]” from Stratos’ album Autumnal Slumber will please your ear drums for 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

Host Tom Barbalet’s records this very special 50th episode to cover for Jonathan who was sick with the zombie flu (actually, a severe respiratory virus that grossly exacerbated his asthma). Tom interviews special guest Steven MacLauchlan of WWPD: News From the Front.
As usual the week in wargaming is discussed. Steven discusses Cold Wars 2011 while Tom briefly mentions working on his RPG based on his book Field of Chaos.
The two move on to the interview where Steven bares all. He explains how he got into gaming, how WWPD: News From the Front started, and which podcasts he regularly looks forward to and listens to (yes, we’re one of them). The two discuss the Vietnam War rules from Battlefront Miniatures along with Battlegames Magazine.
Tom explains the Field of Chaos Political Compass Contest to Steven while also poking fun at Jonathan, whom he refers to as “a hard-line communist” based on the Political Compass results. Submit your results directly to Tom at Tom@nobleape.com.
Tom then gives a wrap up of the War at Sea Contest, which is covered in detail by Jonathan at the conclusion of the show in a special segment.
Jonathan makes a brief appearance in a special segment, recorded on 4/3/11, discussing the War at Sea Contest. He reveals the winner, and runner-up, who both receive some prizes.

As usual the week in wargaming is discussed. Field of Chaos along with other book titles are mentioned. Tom gives thumbs up to a few of them.
He cites some of his favorite GW models such as Space Orks and Imperial Guard Steel Legion.
Tom reminds listeners about the War at Sea contest. It ends on March 31, 2011. He also unveils his own contest. The Field of Chaos Political Compass Contest will reward four listeners with their own physical copies of Tom’s book…Field of Chaos.
Listeners need to go to The Political Compass, answer the questions, and then e-mail Tom (at tom@nobleape.com) with the quadrant (top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left) that you are in.
One winner from each quadrant will receive a physical copy of the Field of Chaos. One lucky winner will also receive a copy of Battlegames Magazine courtesy of Henry Hyde.
While discussing the new contest, Tom reveals his funny side as he good-naturedly pokes fun at Jonathan.
Discussion winds down with Tom mentioning potential upcoming guests including Henry Hyde, (confirmed guest) Neil Shuck, and (confirmed guest) Steven MacLaughlin. Hyde is Editor of Battlegames Magazine, Shuck is host of the hugely popular Meeples & Miniatures podcast, and MacLaughlin is co-host of the amazing Flames of War oriented WWPD: News From the Front podcast.

Jonathan briefly discusses his guest appearance on the debut episode of The Gate Stormers. He states why listeners may like this other podcast and he focuses a spotlight on the contest/giveaway he created at the end of The Gate Stormers Episode 1 – Interview Jon Reinhart.
The middle, and bulk, of this episode is dedicated to a reminder of our War at Sea contest. The deadline is Thursday, March 31st. The prize basket has grown to almost $60 worth of prizes. You can see full details at War at Sea Contest. But, they include t-shirts, a War at Sea booster, 1 set of 4 Litko Aerosystems Small Smoke Markers, and some RPG PDF files, PLUS 1 current issue of Battlegames Magazine.
Please get your submissions to us. E-mail us at cwfgamecast@wargamingforums.com. Leave your submission as a comment on this blog (on the contest post, on this post, or any recent podcast posting. Or, post your submission on our Facebook page.
Jonathan then succinctly mentions the upcoming Episode 50 of the podcast. He thanks the listeners, and his co-host Tom, for the support. He does a quick rundown of our how many subscribers we have and the number of downloads of recent podcast episodes. In short, both are growing.
The discussion tapers off with a short mention of Jonathan’s initial experiences with the Black Powder rules from Warlord Games. You can read more about that by looking at the Black Powder articles on this blog.

Reinhart explains Tom Barbalet’s absence for this episode. He introduces Bill Dettmers, CEO and Owner of 12-7-Games.com, for this special episode of the podcast. As owner of 12-7-Games.com, Bill is the one who orchestrated the sponsorship of the CWF Game Cast and Monty and the Fox’s Wargaming Show.
Jonathan and Bill discuss all aspects of 12-7-Games. Bill discusses his love for War at Sea leading Jonathan into a chat on War at Sea highlights. Bill mentions a recent WAS game where he fielded a ton of Georges. Jonathan references the Invasion of the Bahamas scenario he played with the historical gaming group from Battleground Games and Hobbies. The video is at the bottom of this post. Bill mentions the Axis & Allies ForuMINI and gives his stance on the controversial topic of reissuing WAS units for new players.
Bill provides contact information for 12-7-Games but incorrectly cites their phone number. Jonathan provides the correct phone number at the start of the show. It is toll free at 877-787-9366. Bill shares his wish for a way for young players to get some of the older units they need without having to pay for them with money.
Jonathan runs with that idea to create the next CWF Game Cast contest. Listeners, and blog visitors, are asked to submit your ideas for how young players can get the older (and out of print) War at Sea units they need/want without needing to spend money. Bill mentioned the need for “sweat equity” and posited that the young people could do research or other work (converting models etc) to compensate for the models they need.
Please submit all of your ideas. We will pick the one we like best as the winner. If more than one person submits a great idea then there may be multiple winners. The prize basket so far consists of a Monty and the Fox’s Wargaming Show t-shirt, a War at Sea booster (courtesy of 12-7-Games.com), and prizes not yet decided on. The other prizes most likely will include some previously mentioned prizes along with PDF game downloads.

Some discussion is held of Games Workshop’s failed attempt to place retail stores in New England. Tom mentions attending a convention in Mansfield in 2011. He says that he’d like to make it a real vacation and spend time visiting people he knows, Jonathan included.
Tom spends time promoting Youtube as a resource for gaming. He says it is possible to find helpful “How To…” videos on there for assembling, painting, terrain, etc. Beasts of War is highlighted in this regard as being a previous stronghold of videos.
Jonathan discusses the Gaunt’s Ghosts series of novels by Dan Abnett, focusing on Ghostmaker. He highlights its strengths and weaknesses while detailing how he obtained his copy. The novels are reminiscent of Bernard Cornwell’s Richard Sharpe series.
Jonathan then states that he is Facebook friends with former Games Workshop designers Alessio Cavatore and Gav Thorpe along with Black Library author Dan Abnett. He moves on to discuss War at Sea Set V being released. You can find our digitization project at War at Sea Stat Cards.
The pair finish up discussing the possibility of a monthly newsletter and renaming the podcast, blog, website URL, and everything. Listeners are asked to send their suggestions to rename the podcast.

The focus is guest J. “Joe” James Beaudoin and his many endeavors but mainly the Battlestar Galactica Wiki. Joe discusses his work as VP of White Eye Productions, a burgeoning independent comic company where he sheds light on the company’s founding and pending storylines.
He spends time discussing the Battlestar Galactica Wiki from its formation, growth, buyout offer from Wikia, and its future in a post-BSG world. Joe speaks briefly about his work with Propworx, a company that auctions props from TV shows, and his work with Anovos.com.
Everyone spends some time discussing funding models touching on Google ads, sponsorship, and the “PBS” appeal that is being utilized by Wikipedia.
Jonathan closes out the show with a plea for listeners to give to the less fortunate this holiday season. He highlights The Whiz on Rte 9 East in Westborough, MA as a Toys for Tots drop off location. Please bring a new and unwrapped toy or game to The Whiz and leave it at the designated Toys for Tots bin. Or, donate your Whiz Rewards and The Whiz will donate 110% of its value to Toys for Tots.

Our respective weeks in gaming includes Jonathan discussing the book Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst as inspiration for Flames of War. Tom discusses his Noble Warfare simulation as it has grown out of the Noble Ape software.
The bulk of the show focuses on the Holiday Gift Guide. We share our picks, which can be seen at CWF Holiday Gift Guide 2010. One thing we do not mention in the podcast is to purchase a gift certificate from with the FLGS where the gamer(s) in your life shop and play. That is a great gift if you don’t quite know what they want or need.
The show winds down with Jonathan discussing how to play War at Sea online in a Play by e-Mail (PBeM) type setup using Skype and a set of online maps. He recommends this to Tom and for all gamers who don’t have WASers nearby to play with.
A brief discussion of Tom’s Wikipedia entry and his fandom including one person at a recent NPR recording who exclaimed in delight “IT’S YOU!”
Jonathan reminds listeners that our first guest, J. James Beaudoin who is the CEO of FrakMedia Productions LLC. (they operate the Battlestar Galactica Wiki) will appear in Episode 42 (releasing December 6th, the day before WoW: Cataclysm).
Jonathan closes out the show with a plea for listeners to give to the less fortunate this holiday season. He highlights The Whiz on Rte 9 East in Westborough, MA as a Toys for Tots drop off location. Please bring a new and unwrapped toy or game to The Whiz and leave it at the designated Toys for Tots bin. Or, donate your Whiz Rewards and The Whiz will donate 110% of its value to Toys for Tots.
As always we conclude with a message from our sponsor, 12-7-Games.com, and contact information (find us on Facebook and Twitter).

We discuss our previous week in gaming focusing on Tom writing his own RPG based on a novel he’s written. We also discuss my trials and tribulations with Flames of War (this has since been rectified in The Whiz Saves the Day).
We refer to my guest appearance on Stone Ape #19: New England Gaming Vegas with Jonathan Reinhart [October 31, 2010]. Tom and I consider the easiest and most affordable way to get into Flames of War. We share thoughts on the different types of gamer along with experiences of attempted gaming with our spouses.
The conversation winds down with Tom and I declaring the intention to have guests on the podcast. We conclude with a message from our sponsor, 12-7-Games.com, and contact information (find us on Facebook and Twitter).
